Master Of None Chapter 403

"Look down the blade and make sure it is completely straight. Even the slightest angle can ruin the entire thing." The crystal mage softly trailed a finger among the edge of the blade making sure that the thickness was proper. Once he felt the differences he pulled out a very small chisel and started to tap away at the uneven places.
Walker copied his actions and found that the blade portion of the crystal sword shape was much rougher than he had expected. The entire left side was ridged and had a very uneven feeling while the right side was smoother with only a few spots that needed work. The way the crystal had broken at first had helped out one side while making the other worse.
Walker took another chisel similar to the one the crystal mage was using and started to copy the small tapping that shaved off slivers. The slivers of crystal piled up little by little as the two worked. One of the other earth mages used his own earth shaping magic skills to fuse them so that there were no accidental slivers.
"See how the blade had a point but isn't sharp at all? This is the best time to use some earth shaping skills. The point can be reinforced and sharpened without damaging the structure." The crystal mage ran a thumb and finger along the blade while using his crystal shaping skill and made the blate sharper. Walker could see the visible change.
"I will give it a try too." Walker found that his high earth sculpting skill worked very well with this action and he made the blade sharper with ease. He kept checking the balance and tried his best to make it smooth. "Can you take a look at this too? I need fresh eyes." He handed his sword to the crystal mage.

"Things look very good for your first try making a sword. Let me just smooth this out and this." The crystal mage made a few taps here and there to fix some minor points. If Walker hadn't asked he could have missed them and caused a failed attempt. "Let's focus on the grip and hilt. They need to be made more dense so that they can hold the majority of the water and light elemental man from some elemental mana crystals."
Walker could see why the handle and hilt would be the best place for the elements to rest. It was the safest because they would not have the chance to be attacked directly often. There was also the close relation to the one holding it so that the elements could be guided with ease.
The crystal mage made the hilt denser with his crystal shaping skills along with the handle. However, he also used his rounded chisel to make its grip better. The blade had biome much more refined in the last hour while they straightened and sharpened it. The overall shaping was even better as well because the hilt and handle parts were matching the quality of the blade.
"Now for the hardest party of the entire production. We can easily add a space for the elemental mana in a round shape, but for the sword, we need to make it run from the hilt all the way through the blade. Imagine a much smaller blade on the inside." Walker chose to watch the crystal mage first.
The crystal mage slowly channeled his crystal shaping skill and started to open up the space inside the crystal sword. Walker saw that there were not thin little passageways but instead a hollow space inside. This was the reason the crystal blades wouldn't ever reach the same strength as solid forged items. But it would allow for a magical attack.

"I can't let this collapse and shatter, I need the water and light mages to start adding some of their elements. Please use the crystals provided." The crystal mage called for the light and water mage who had a handful of the elemental crystals in their hands.
The elemental mana was channeled from the crystals and through the mages bodies. This helped them control the flow and slowly add the balanced light and water elemental mana to the crystal sword.
The crystal mage was making sure that there were no weak points in the crystal while also sensing the changes that occurred within. He felt few points where the crystal was too thin and adjusted the strength in those areas. The space in the center was easily filled and would need t to be topped off with mana in the future because the word wouldn't be able to absorb mana like a regular sword with runes carved on it.
"Stop!" The crystal mage had the two mages stop adding elemental mana and suddenly started to condense the crystal sword a little more. The two elements were not fighting each other but actually mixing in the sword. The hilt and the handle gained a soft sky blue color and the blade looked to be made of a clearer crystal than before.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead the crystal mage looked at the crystal sword in his hands. "This came out a lot better than I thought it would. The elements are compatible so they aren't causing any disturbances, the crystal was of good quality even though it was older, and the process was smooth. All that is left is for you to test it and show us if it can handle the strength you want t to have." The crystal mage presented the sword to the dual elemental spell sword who took it gingerly.
"I've got to say it is very beautiful. I feel like I am holding a glass that could break at any second. but I can feel the elemental mana inside and it is almost like an extension of my own arm." The spell sword was very pleased with the feeling so far and was looking forward to the next step.

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
